so much to maintain. He was born in
Chatauqua county, New York, in 1889,
and became, while yet a boy, an editor in
western Pennsylvania. He enlisted in the
war as a private soldier and was wounded
and disabled at Antietam. He returned
to Washir gton and soon became noted as
the correspondent of the New York Ira-
bune and Of the Cincinnati Commercial.
He was a man of clear intellect and of
rare and infinite fancy, the joy of q circle
of distinguished, brilliant and genial men.
Heloved his friends and delighted to Sc We
them. He very often forgot himself in
doing so. He despised the enemies that
he was too careless to hate. He had a
great brain and a large heart and a dispo-
sition of lavish generosity. He looked
not wisely after the main chance, and was
not propident, and relied upon the re-
sources of his talents, which had not failed
him. He had a sanguine disposition and
was cheerful under melancholy circum-
stances. He had all the instincts of a gen
tleman, and he was one. And he liked
that kind. He wa a good friend, a good
conrade and a good fellow.-Indepeadent.

Suicide at Ninety.

JERSEY CRY, June 7.-Prof. Charles
Sledhorf and wife Matilda, aged ninety
one and ninetytwo, tired of a long and
futile struggle with destitution, commit
ted suicide to-day at Union Hill. Sled
hort, it is said, was professor of chemistry
in Heidelberg university, Germany, thirty
five years ago. He supported himself by
writing for the newspapers, making trans
lations and occasionally lecturing upon
chemistry and electricity. These means
failed. They lived in filth and squalor.
To-day the poormaster called to take him
to the Snake Hill hospital, where light
employment had been provided for him.
He legged for an hours time. At its ex-
piration the officers found him n wife
lying dead on the floor, and a letter say
ing they had taken the deadliest of poisons
cyanide of potassium. He gave as a
reason that he could not take his wife
with him to the hospital, and could not
live without her. He also spoke of hav-
ing been wronged by some Il e 1t was a
most pitiful affair.

The d d Murder.

Sioux Cry, June fudge Wakefield
to-day opened the district court here. On
the call of the criminal docket for trial as
signment to-day there was an extended
battle between the attorneys in the Had
dock murder case. John Arnsdorf, prin-
cipaI defendant, was tried at the last term
of court with the result of a hung jury.
The defense to-day asserted that they
were ready for another trial of Arnsdorf.
State Attorney Marsh stood on his right to
elect which defendant should be tried and
elected Munchrath. He is jointly indicted
with Arnsdorf, and the trial of the latter
developed some strong evidence against
Munchrath. There is a stronger case
against him than Arnsdorf. The defense
at once filed a motion to have the case
continued until the Septembert term. They
alleged that Munchrath had been so pros
trated with rheumatism that he could not
prepare for trial. The fact hthat MUNICH
rath may be seen on the street any day.
The result was, however, that an order
was finally made continuing all the cases
until the next term. There have been
runners flying for some time that the de-
Tense would bring back Treiber and Plath,
both of the fugitive defendants who are
supposed to be in Germany. The defense
has boosted that they would be put On the
witness stand, and also that Henry Peters,
the brewery driver, another defendant,
would be brought back. The action of
the defense in fighting for delay to-day is
in contrast with these boasts. 1t is we'll
understood also that States Attorney
Marsh was not averse to a continuance.
The jurors drawn for the term are said to
be just as Ind as the notorious panel at the
last term, and, moreover the delay
involves a great strain upon the de-
Tense. The friends of the prisoners are
forced to enormous expense in maintain
ing the fugitive defendants abroad and a
number of the families and dependents
here at home. Arnsdorf's personal funds
were long since exhausted and there has
to be reliance on contributions, and it is
said that several business men here have
contributed aud that outside brewers have
given some money, but the great bulk of
the burden has fallen on Arnsdorf's bus
mess associates, who are not directly in
volved. The state evidently hopes that
the sheer weight of the financial burden
will yet break the banks of the defense.
There seems to be some ground for the
hnp,a

New Kind of Brick.

A new variety of pressed brick, made of
ashes and cinders, is now being manufac-
tured in San Francisco. Says the En-
amsner of that city: "The result is a brick
of unusual solidlty, handsome in appear
ance, of a most durable character and
made entirely without burning or baking,
All manner of experiments have been
tried with the bricks in the way of sub
jecting them alternately to intense cold
and heat, but without any injurious effect,
The best quality have been boiled fo1
hours, without cracking or showing any
SIGNS Of dissolying."

Philanthropist Paralyzed.

WASHINGTON, June Wv. W. Corcor-

list, was suddenly stricken with paralysis
in the left leg and arm yesterday after
noon. While dining with his family he
suddenly exclaim ed, "Who hit me on the
head 81 at the same time placing his hand
on the spot where he said it felt as if it
had received a blow. A moment later he
felt for his fork with his left hand and
could not find it, nor did he know when
it was put in his hand. His mind was per-
fectly clear, and he insisted that there was
nothing the matter with him except a
feeling of numbness in the left arm. In a
few minutes he rose and attempted to go
to the next room, when he found that his
leg was affected and that he had lost con-
troll over it.

the new was true. He further said: "The
amount for which we have instituted pro-
ceedings is about $4,000, the amount
with interest representing the proceeds of
kissane's forgeries on this bank in 1862.
The subpoena was served at Kissane's
ranch at Sonema, Cal. At least we are
SO advised by Gen. Darr, and | have every
reason to believe that the information is
correct. Kissane is rich, and | am in
formed he has ample means to pay the
amount claimed. He has never offered
to make restitution for his crime. The
bank therefore intends to push for its just
dues for all they are worth, not only in
its own interest, but in the interest of
honest dealing generally"

LONDON, June 6.-The Times publishes

of the Irish-American conspiracy. Itsays:
The Clan-na-Gael is the soul Of the Ma
tional league. While the latter exists on
fine speeches, ETC., the former manages
the real business. Our narrative shows
that Parnell, Sexton and other leaders of
the Home Rule party are on intimate con
fdential terms with the CIan-na-Gael mis-
c%reants, and that their permission or pro-
hibition of diabolical outrages is a matter
of Encouragement"

HENRY WARD BEECHER ON LIFE
ASSURANCE.

In life assurance there are no risks or contin-
gencies. Other investments may fai. A house
may burn down, banks may break and other in
vestments be worthless. Bonds and mortgages
NAV be seized for debt, and all property or ev-
dences Of property, may fa1 into the bottomless
gulf of banlru ,tcy. But money secured to your
fail OF interruption, provided You have used due
discretion in the selection of a sound and honor
able assurance company. Of two courses, one
of which may leave ysur family destitute, and
the other of which assures them a comfortable
support at your decease, can there be q doubt
which is to be chosen?
HENRY WARD BEECHER.
When the Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States, was a comparatively young
company, and had not surpassed its chief COM
petitors which had been in existence for many
years before the Tquitabls's organization, the
late senry Ward Beecher took a policy with the
Society. After paying the premiums for many
years, he has now left the assurance to his wife
as q part Of her inheritance.
Since those carly days the Equitable Society
has outrun every competitor and to-day may be
justly regarded as the largest and strongest Or
ganization of its kind in the world.
